Journals are one of the platforms used by the academic community to disseminate research or community service results that have been conducted. Moreover, publishing in journals is also a requirement for graduation at certain educational levels and for the promotion of lecturers/researchers. It is important to note that journals used for graduation or promotion purposes must be reputable/accredited.
